Passing Glances
Passing Glances by Marsha Marie scared hallow faces rhythm ting ting as the tube tinkers a somber tune on the IV pole with flowered blue petals keeping us steady war heroes in the hall, sharing their past i asked are you sharing old war stories ? the man shows pic of his bone on his phone "yes, just making them up as we go" (he chuckles) keith - the rolling wizard. a smile across his face. "hi, hope you're just here for a headache!" you can hear him rolling down the hall with the sound of a glass IV bottle ......i think, what year am I stuck in? the nurses and assistants are the real unsung heroes i get that now pats on my shoulder , a tissue to wipe the tears "Do you want a hug?" .....yes, please!
